I think this is one of the most popular and most ordered item in a restaurant. What is more great, is that yours look perfectly like restaurant style. Step by step instructions would make it easy for people to try this at home and relish it every weekend. Loved the recipe. I am a complete vegetarian and I would work this with paneer for sure.

I have seen many of my friends order this recipe in restaurants and J always admire the colour and creamy gravy from far since I am a vegetarian. Now I have seen how you make it I may try to replicate the dish using paneer, since your recipe looks lovely.
